Our Mission is to create a therapeutic, recreational, and educational retreat for our nation’s U.S. armed forces and their families, using outdoor wilderness activities in Maine and natural habitats to help participants share common challenges related to their service and sacrifice in protecting our nation’s freedom and democratic ideals.
We are a small group of volunteers that has found a way to give back to our heroes.
Our mission is to give our American hero’s a weekend of guided duck hunting on the storied Horicon Marsh–home cooked meals, brotherhood healing and sincere gratitude for everything they have given us. Thanks to the generosity of donors to date we’ve been able to provide a duck hunting weekend filled with relaxation, laughter and healing to over 80 veterans. And some years, even a duck or two.
Hope For The Warriors’ Outdoor Adventures Program provides adaptive opportunities for wounded heroes to participate in sporting activities in the great outdoors. Service members, who previously embraced an outdoorsman lifestyle, as well as those new to traditional outdoor sports, are introduced to recreational opportunities on the road to recovery.
Hope For The Warriors created the Outdoor Adventures Program in 2010 to provide adaptive opportunities for wounded heroes to participate in sporting activities in the great outdoors. In 2012, the organization recognized the therapeutic benefits for the family members and expanded the program to include spouses and children of wounded and fallen service members.
Hope For The Warriors has created partnerships with many corporate and nonprofit outdoors groups to create hunting and fishing opportunities available to service members, veterans and their families throughout the country.
Hooks for Heroes is an annual fishing tournament, developed by Pat Buzzeo, member of Halloween Yacht Club and Veteran. The tournament takes place in the Long Island Sound and 100% of the donations raised are given to Operation Gift Cards to help wounded veterans and their families.
The mission at Hookin’ Veterans is simple: to connect an ever-growing community of veterans and their families through a weekend of camaraderie and deep-sea fishing. Since most veterans claim to miss the bond of brotherhood that serving in the armed forces forges, Hookin’ Veterans goal is to help them reconnect with other service members and re-establish this bond in an effort to combat the increase of veteran suicide.
At Hookin’ Veterans we provide, through our generous donors, an all-expense paid weekend fishing trip that is designed to be fun, relaxing and in some ways soothing to the soul of veterans and by extension their families. But we cannot do it alone.
Hooked on Heroes is a non-profit organization that serves Veterans of all branches, with or without disabilities. We provide fishing trips for veterans at events. Our company supplies all the fishing needs necessary, including their fishing license for the day, so these men and women can enjoy a trip on the water, so they are not responsible for paying a dime. We provide various fishing items such as, fishing rods, reels, hooks, fishing line, popping corks, artificial bait, and other items. We supply such items and lunch for the day. Not only do we provide a day of fishing for our veterans but we pride ourselves in giving back to the people who ensure our freedom.
Serving those who have served us by providing an unforgettable outdoor experience, through fishing with disabled and post-traumatic stress (PTS) military veterans and heroes in our lives.
Sharing God’s love in the beauty of His great creation, while learning to fish with a professional angler, creating an unforgettable experience on the water.
Leaving filled with many blessings God provides through the outdoors.
HOOAH Deer Hunt for Heroes was started to give back to our soldiers who have given so much. We’re able to share our passion for hunting and fishing. The outdoors are the perfect place to heal mentally and physically and enables our soldiers to experience the outdoors in ways they did not know was possible. This program enables soldiers to network with other soldiers and civilians, a unique oppertunity.
